  • Classical Nakedness in British Sculpture and Historical Painting 1798-1840 Cora Hatshepsut Gilroy-Ware Ph.D Univ
    MARMOREALITIES: CLASSICAL NAKEDNESS IN BRITISH SCULPTURE AND HISTORICAL PAINTING 1798-1840 CORA HATSHEPSUT GILROY-WARE PH.D UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART SEPTEMBER 2013 ABSTRACT Exploring the fortunes of naked Graeco-Roman corporealities in British art achieved between 1798 and 1840, this study looks at the ideal body’s evolution from a site of ideological significance to a form designed consciously to evade political meaning. While the ways in which the incorporation of antiquity into the French Revolutionary project forged a new kind of investment in the classical world have been well-documented, the drastic effects of the Revolution in terms of this particular cultural formation have remained largely unexamined in the context of British sculpture and historical painting. By 1820, a reaction against ideal forms and their ubiquitous presence during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wartime becomes commonplace in British cultural criticism. Taking shape in a series of chronological case-studies each centring on some of the nation’s most conspicuous artists during the period, this thesis navigates the causes and effects of this backlash, beginning with a state-funded marble monument to a fallen naval captain produced in 1798-1803 by the actively radical sculptor Thomas Banks. The next four chapters focus on distinct manifestations of classical nakedness by Benjamin West, Benjamin Robert Haydon, Thomas Stothard together with Richard Westall, and Henry Howard together with John Gibson and Richard James Wyatt, mapping what I identify as

  • Mulready Stationery
    BRITISH PHILATELIC BULLETIN is for... Mulready stationery Colin Baker charts the brief life of William Mulready’s illustrated envelopes, commissioned to grace the first ever prepaid stationery of 1840 One of the innovations that came with the postal reforms of 1840 was the introduction of prepaid envelopes and letter sheets; the Id values were printed in black and the 2d values in blue. These could be used for letters sent anywhere in the L K, weighing up to half an ounce and one ounce respectively. Neither the envelopes nor the letter sheets were gummed (it would be another five to ten years before that was possible) and they had to be folded by hand and sealed with a blob of wax or fastened with a wafer seal - a small piece of paper carrying a design or message that was stuck over the point of the flap to hold it in place. They were launched on the same day the new Id and 2d adhesive stamps - the famous Penny Black and Twopenny Blue - came into use. It was assumed that the convenience of Fig 1 prepaid stationery would make it an instantly popular choice. So, while the printed envelopes and letter sheets were stocked in large numbers at every post office, the adhesive stamps were harder to find - on the issue date of 6 May 1840, there were only limited supplies of the Penny Black and none at all of the Twopenny Blue. The stationery was illustrated by William Mulready, a talented artist and member of the Royal Academy, influenced by Rowland Hill and Henry Cole (the two men in charge of introducing the postal reforms).

It explores a number of trajectories embarked upon by Boydell and his artists in their collective attempt to promote an English aesthetic. It broadly argues that the Shakespeare Gallery offered an antidote to a variety of perceived problems which had emerged at the Royal Academy over the previous twenty years, defining itself against Academic theory and practice. Identifying and examining the cluster of spatial, ideological and aesthetic concerns which characterised the Shakespeare Gallery, my research suggests that the Gallery promoted a vision for a national art form which corresponded to contemporary senses of English cultural and political identity, and takes issue with current art-historical perceptions about the 'failure' of Boydell's scheme. The introduction maps out some of the existing scholarship in this area and exposes the gaps which art historians have previously left in our understanding of the Shakespeare Gallery.
